Today, we’re featuring Gregg Blasdel’s 1981 photographs of the environment built by Veronica Terrillion over the course of 50 years on her property outside of Indian River, New York, which featured religious figures and a wide range of animals.
Today’s featured photographs were taken at Prairie Moon Sculpture Garden by Gregg Blasdel between 1967 and 1974. After retiring in 1952, the farmer, fiddler, and sculptor Herman Rusch built nearly forty brightly-hued sculptures on the grounds out of concrete and quarried stone.
This summer at SPACES we have Gabby, our fellow, and Kaily, our intern! Keep an eye out for posts about both of them and what they're working on! We stopped at the James Tellen Woodland Sculpture Garden.
After hearing of Jim Bowsher's passing on June 12, 2024, we reached out to a few of these friends to learn what made his life and work so special. Learn more about Jim's impact on the SPACES blog. spacesarchives.org/resources/blog…
